I watch a lot of horror, but one of the legendary movies I’ve never tracked down is Men Behind the Sun due to its reputation as being quite a slog. That kind of subgenre is not really my thing; I’ve not watched Ilsa, either. But when you learn that vivisection was involved and that is something that actually happened, it’s quite eye-opening.

Also, when you learn of actual cannibalism - watch this until the end for the mind-blowing twist:

I’m sure Kamala would have been jUsTaSbAd.

Yeah, you fucking think?

Right now is a very opportune time for foreign actors to be sweeping up data and /breaking into as many systems as possible while donvict and his fElon are breaking our government.

I’m eating vegetarian, mostly vegan, mostly for those reasons.

Hopefully we don’t have the dust bowl as well, but I do wonder how prices for staples like rice and beans might go up if the meat and dairy supply is tainted…

Agreed. Maybe if we didn’t have so many goddamn Republicans, especially with power and platforms. Even under Kamala, it’d be bad, but with these chucklefucks in charge right now…

This is seriously the dumbest and probably most preventable timeline. Well, except for all the goddamn idiots and apathetic people in the country.

Sigh.

I’m still seeing them saying it here on Lemmy, in fact. Still blaming the Democratic Party for things and choices that they themselves chose to make.

And all because the Democratic Party did not give them a perfectly pretty, pretty pony.

Liberty Council

If nothing else, qons can always be counted on to take meanings of words and employ them in ways that are not the meanings normal people have.

Take for instance, their use of the terms and phrases: liberty, freedom, patriotism, small government, and political correctness.

These are the exact same types of assholes that would think nothing of putting a motto like “Arbeit macht frei” on a goddamn concentration camp.

Yeah, but in the long view, they’ll just be the last victim, most likely.

Right. Any kind of fiscal autonomy means any uppity women are a flight risk and they need to be brought to heel and kept within states that enact the most draconian laws. And we certainly cannot have them getting any ideas about booking flights to other countries…

Yep. They didn’t give a flying fuck about public sentiment on the right to abortion, either.

So, Focus on the Family?

Well, they are probably going to come for the birth control and sex toys next.

But if they come for interracial marriage, I bet Clarence is going to be one of the most pikachu-faced motherfuckers (besides Peter Thiel?) on the planet. He thought he was one of the GOOD ones. Turns out they never approved of him OR his marriage…

Also, I want to add - this is not that huge, at least in the sense that it’s not at all surprising. I’m pretty sure Trollito and pals signaled they wanted to end Obergefell, as well as decisions on contraceptives and sodomy. Technically, a blowjob is sodomy. I wonder how many cishet men know that? I also don’t think it will be enforced for any of the insiders. I doubt the Sodomy Police are going to kick in the doors of fElon’s house when he’s getting a beej from one of his baby-mamas.

The only thing that is the least bit surprising (to me, anyway) is how many people ignored that this is who and what the cons really are. They are not for freedom. They hate people exercising their freedoms. They think THEY should decide who marries who. That THEY should decide how family planning is done. And that THEY get to decide what sexual encounters are allowed. And that THEY get to decide even how many dildos people own.

Also: what kind of pervert concerns themselves to this degree about what consenting adults do? It’s sick.

Yeah, but TBF, he thought it was going to be OTHER people that were getting hurt.

Exactly. In what universe is a wrecking ball used to build something?

Same with chainsaws - some of the dipshits are still employing this myth that fElon and his Incel Clown Posse were going to be applying sound principles to improving efficiency in some kind of surgical fashion (instead of the smash-n-grab that it really is).

Meanwhile, fElon is literally swinging around a chainsaw for his slack-jawed yokel admirers. Even on metaphors, this is a huge failure. What kind of surgery is done with a FUCKING CHAINSAW?

Even the most dogmatic redcap adherents cannot make that make sense to each other.

We were in Tennessee. During the motorcade, he spotted some ugly racial epithets scrawled on signs. Late that night in the hotel, when the local dignitaries had finished the last bottles of bourbon and branch water and departed, he started talking about those signs. “I’ll tell you what’s at the bottom of it,” he said. “If you can convince the lowest white man he’s better than the best colored man, he won’t notice you’re picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he’ll empty his pockets for you.” -Bill Moyers quoting LBJ

I think a whole lot of it is racism, xenophobia, etc…even if government-as-a-weapon is an inexact thing, and those voting for qons know it, they still hope it will harm the out-group even more.

Someone I know would often spar with his neighbor over politics. Neighbor has been working for the USPS for most of his life. Neighbor was full-on fucking MAGA. I’d like to get an update on that guy, but the person I know moved and lost contact w/ the qon neighbor.

But I wonder if his butt puckered up just a little bit when he learned this:
